I head back to the common room to try and find Draco and I'm greeted by loud shouting and applauses. In the center of the room I see a platinum blond head bobbing up and down. I make my way towards the center of the room to see Draco, who is being thrown up and down by the quidditch team. Knowing Draco, he'd bask in this glory for as long as he could. So, I didn't bother to congratulate him. Instead I make my way up the stairs and into my dorm and go to bed.

I wake up late and struggle to find my robes and tame my hair. I run down the stairs and dash out of the common room to head over to history. Once I arrive in front of the classroom door I open the door slowly praying Professor Binns won't hear me enter. To my relief Binns doesn't notice me and I'm able to slide into the class without anyone noticing me. Well except for Pansy, my desk mate.

"Did I already thank you for waking me up?" I turn to Pansy

"I'm sorry! I just figured you'd skip breakfast and head down to class!"

"It's alright, it's only history class anyway" I say letting out a long sigh.

During the lecture I see a small origami dove make its way over to me. I reach up to grab it and open it up.

Draco

I turn to my right and see Draco nod his head at me. I turn back to face the front of the class and wonder what Draco could possibly want to talk about.

"What was that about?" Pansy asks.

"Nothing" I say with a small smile.

After history I wave to Pansy as I head off to muggle studies. I met with Dumbledore earlier this week to ask if I would be able to add muggle studies to my schedule. To my delight he happily added me to the class, and today was my first day. If I wouldn't have taken this class up I would have just had a free period.

As I start to get closer to the classroom I get nervous. None of my friends were in this class, they would never 'waste their time on such useless crap', as Pansy once said.

I take a deep breath as I reach to open the classroom door.

"Hey! What're you doing here?"

"Bloody hell!" I say slightly jumping.

"Ced! You're in this class?!"

"Yeah. I figured why not learn about the muggle ways" he says chuckling.

"Do you mind if I sit with you? I don't know anyone else in this class"

"Of course". The caramel headed boy says as he opens the door allowing me to go first.

We take our seats in the back of the classroom and turn our attention up to Professor Burbage.

"Good afternoon everyone! Please open your textbooks up to page 394"

Crap. I haven't got my textbook from the library yet.

"Don't have your textbook?" Cedric asks.

"Yeah, I must've forgotten to pick it up at the library"

"That's fine we can share mine" he says warmly.

Cedric places the textbook between us. I can feel him scooting closer to me. Our faces are inches apart, I can feel him gazing at me as well. I can feel my cheeks grow red and I decide to look up at him. Cedric has a big smile on his face and sends me a quick wink before I look away.

The whole class consists of me having butterflies in my stomach from being in such close proximity to Ced. Finally class is let out and I begin to gather my things. I head out and walk alongside Cedric to the Slytherin common room.

"Are you sure you don't want to study with me in the library?" Cedric asks me for the third time.

"Yes, I'm sure I really have to focus if I want to get my work done" before meeting Draco. Of course I don't say that part though.

We finally arrive at my common room and I wave off a cheery Cedric as I walk in.

I spend the rest of the day doing homework in the common room. By the time I'm done I have an hour left to spare before meeting Draco. So, I head up to my room to see Pansy reading a book in bed. She sends me a soft smile as I walk in and resumes reading. I change into my pajamas and head under my covers. I don't want Pansy asking questions about why I'm not going to bed yet and why I haven't changed. So, just to ensure no questions get asked, I pretend to sleep as I watch the clock, waiting for it to strike 11.

By the time it's 11 I slowly shift out of my bed and make sure that Pansy is asleep. I throw on an oversized sweatshirt without changing my pajama shorts.

I head down the stairs and out of the common room as quietly as possible. As soon as I step out I hear Mrs. Norris meow before turning the corner. I dart into the nearest closet and wait till I hear Mrs. Norris pass. After 10 minutes I check to make sure the coast is clear and head out to the astronomy tower.

I make my way up the long spiral stairs of the tower and see a figure resting over the rail looking out into the dark sky.

"Hey" I say softly as I walk towards Draco.

"y/n, was beginning to think you weren't going to show" Draco says, still gazing out into the night sky.

"Well meeting after curfew isn't the easiest thing you know" I say crossing my arms."So, why'd you call me up here anyway?"

"I like to come up here and be alone with my thoughts," he says turning to face me. "Come," he says, walking to the middle of the tower gesturing for me to follow.

We lay down in the middle of the tower side by side looking up at the stars and naming any constellations we see. As we're doing this I find it odd that Draco has asked me to come up here with him. Maybe he was just extra stressed today and needed some company. He doesn't seem the type to enjoy the night sky and stars, but I guess I don't really know him that well, so I can't speak much to it. After a while Draco gets up and offers me his hand.

"Thanks for helping me clear my head, things have been kind of crazy for me lately" he says placing his hands in his pockets while looking down at his feet.

"Anytime" I say with a warm smile.

He quickly looks back up at me and adds: "and not a word of this to anyone" he says in a serious tone.

Ah there he is. The Draco I know.

"Yes because it would be such a bad thing if someone knew" I say rolling my eyes. "Now come on, we don't want to get caught by Filch and Norris"
